Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated places. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense the gaps and again access the house.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire colony can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
